I have a new Load master that that I will be loading 9mm, and eventually 45ACP. I do not have a universal decapper but I do have an extra expander and powder drop. If I left the resize/deprime in station 1 and put the powder drop, without the expander installed, in station 2 would I have enough support for the priming action?

I think most people use something in station 2 to help align the brass. The brass should actually be held by the shell plate without any additional support required. Just my .02. I'm sure you'll get other answers.

I am concerned that the powder through die might be a little too loose to guarantee alignment for priming. I understand that the re sizer does such a good job of aligning the case because the fit is very tight.

No problem, after reading my post I see I was not all that clear. I would love to prime and charge on the same position like the Pro 1000, but until lee comes up with a new version or upgrade I will stick with prime on 2 and charge on 3.
